[time-nuts] Fwd: 5065 ?? direct

GREEN LIGHT!!!

My last step was to twiddle the two pots (R3 and R11) on the multiplier
back and forth a few times (setting them back to their original setting
afterwards).  2nd harmonic popped up and is steady.  I hit the Logic Reset,
and the green light is ON!  Error was pretty close to zero, I can get the
Integrator Limit light to come on if I rock the Oscillator Coarse control
enough in either direction, which all seems good, right?

My counter reads 5.000 000 022, which is probably about as accurate as the
counter is good for.

This instrument has a little blue HP sticker on the back that says option
H52.  What is that?

Thanks to all for your support and emails.

I have a 350 MHz scope, HP5335A, various power supplies, DVMs, and sig gens
up to 1 GHz.  No working Spec An on my bench now, but I have access to one
if needed...

Jim what kind of test equipment do you have? Kind of helps to understand
what approaches could be used to figure it out.
Funny I have a HP5061 CS its a true Frankenstein in reality using a 5060
tube. Absolutely on its last fumes. I have had a funny offset forever in it
and finally figuring what the issue really seems to be.
Crazy stuff.
